Location: Mauston, Wisconsin | Steve, No reason to pee on a post, I actually like what I see- re. the Lowrance Downscan. The facts of who's better are imbedded in the DSP capabilities and features customers want, like was posted in some other discussions, re. HB vs Lowrance, it can only get better- competition is good. They are both reputable companies and certainly they are not involved in miss-information dissemination.
Yes-
I'd think you have a ghost may be a good analysis. However, even ghost's have a reason for existance, its just hard to understand why. I'd send it back to HB for repair/checkout. There are all kinds of strange stuff that can happen w/ either analog or digital systems. The fact you can replace the unit indicates to me its a unit problem, and I'm sure if it's internal they will fix it. The fact it loses and re-aquires the transducer would lead me to look at the transducer connections and transducer analog circuits. Maybe it's a bad A/D converter? All the folks at HB should need is an accurate description of the problem as you see it! Don't try to troubleshoot, just tell them what you see as a user.
Good luck,
Al
